Or maybe some things get worse and some things get better and we should stop pretending that it's impossible for things to get worse in tech. It reminds me of when I see old photos and everyone is dressed up so much more nicely than today.

(no, just the clothes). Nuance people, jeez. You can pick and choose things in the past that were better or weren't.
